Maersk Line will call at DP World’s new Muelle Sur container terminal in Callao, Peru, when it opens next spring under an agreement signed this week.
The terminal, DP World’s first investment in Peru, will add some 850,000 TEUs a year of capacity to Callao, the South American country’s main import-export ocean hub. Current annual capacity is approximately 1.2 million TEUs.
“Maersk Line is expecting an improved end-to-end cost for our clients, coupled with berth windows and higher productivity to deliver unmatched reliability in the Peruvian market,” said Michael Kaasner Kristiansen, Maersk’s head of operations for Latin America.
